Corporate Support

In the interest of school improvement, CAIS implements a corporate sponsorship program to provide visibility to businesses that may be of service to independent schools. CAIS corporate sponsors enjoy many benefits including the opportunity to sponsor events at annual conferences and year-round visibility on the CAIS website. Corporate sponsorship is not a formal endorsement, but CAIS does encourage member schools to consider sponsors toward the goal of school development and advancement.
